An American Theater classic!
During the war Joe Keller and Steve Deever ran a machine shop which made airplane parts. Deever was sent to prison because the firm turned out defective parts, causing the deaths of many men. Keller went free and made a lot of money.
The twin shadows of this catastrophe and the fact that the young Keller son was reported missing during the war dominate the action.
The love affair of Chris Keller and Ann Deever, the bitterness of George Deever returned from the war to find his father in prison and his father's partner free, are all set in a structure of almost unbearable power.
The climax showing the reaction of a son to his guilty father is fitting conclusion to a play electrifying in its intensity.
When Arthur Miller burst upon the theatre world with this 1947 play, he established his position as the leading playwright of his generation. Simultaneously, he made a brilliant case for his contention that the American theatre could encompass tragedy equal in stature to that of the ancient Greeks. The heroes, he maintained, were not the kings and gods of antiquity, but the everyday working people of this country.
